[quote=Anonymous]My daughter did this trip in 8th grade and loved it.  This was 4 years ago, however.  I think now, even with the world the way it is, I'd still allow it.

Two years ago she went to Italy as part of another school trip and I went with her on that trip.

A total of 16 students, 2 teachers, and 8 parents went on the trip.  Each room had 2 students and a parent in it so there was no sneaking out at night.  The kids did get 2 hours of free exploring time each day during the daylight hours, but if they did not check back in on time, they lost the privilege for the rest of the trip.  All of the kids who went on the trip were 15-17 and we had no issues with drinking or trying to sneak out.

The year before I entered 9th grade, the high school I went to eliminated senior class trips because a bunch of the seniors graduating that year thought it'd be a brilliant idea to drink their way through an amusement park.  It was a huge thing in our town because the kids who smuggled the booze in and who drank were all of the top students in the school.  Their punishment was that none of them could participate in graduation, which meant that the valedictorian and salutatorian that year were both number 14 and 15 in the class.  So the drinking and sneaking around can happen even if the class trip is domestic.   [/quote]
